    Do you feel like you’re accomplishing something by playing a difficult game?

    Personally I do not, and that’s fine. I play games to take a break from accomplishing things.

      This is the thing, everyone is different. What is difficult for some, will be easy for others, and it will even flip for the same people on different games.

      The best option is having a wide array of difficulty options. In stone games I get bored of it’s too easy, in others I get bored of it’s too hard.

      I tend to err on ‘normal’ to ‘slightly more difficult than normal’. But some games I don’t want difficulty at all because I’m there for the ride.

      Absolutely, yes. Good video games have a reward structure that real life is lacking.
